Ya otta rub some on yer next bow then..

Yep, that's what I used to sand it with. 

Dannon that gray action wood looks awesome ! Nice color combo !

Thanks yellowwood

Today I bare shaft tuned 6 arrows, dyed, and sealed them.  I also skinned 2 bows with a timber rattler and coachwhip skins.  I cleaned up a piece of black locust fence rail that my grandpa put up 30 years ago.  I'm going to make a bow rack out of it.

And the highlight of the day was when I was cleaning up the mess from the skins I looked up and saw a bobcat slowly cross our road 40 yards away.

Clint thats very cool on the Bob cat there has been some spoted last year about 40 miles west of me, its  preety unusual in my part of the state.

Here are the 2 bows I skinned yesterday

I wondered how the coachwhip would turn out.
Looks pretty darn cool.

Real nice, Clint.

There's nothing quite like a nice snake on the back of a bow. Gorgeous.

Beautiful Clint

Clint, is that the recurve you were working on at the Classic. Looking forward to seeing that one finished.
